FAQ

This course is for parents of infants, soon-to-be parents, and any caregiver or family member (hey grandparents 👋) who will be feeding baby. If you are someone who wants to learn HOW to feed baby, including some fun science on the topic, then you are in the right spot!

Depends! If you are an expectant parent or you have time to take two courses, then I think Growing Intuitive Eaters 101 is usually the best place to start. However, if your baby is in the 3-6 month age range or you only have time for ONE course, then this course (Feeding Baby 101) is the best place to start! These courses are designed so you can come back to the videos that you need, when you need them. So you may find that you will come back to these videos as your baby’s feeding journey evolves.

This course works for parents who are choosing to start with pureés, baby led weaning, or a combination of both! In this course, I teach responsive feeding. And this method can be combined with both purées and baby led weaning. In this course I discuss safety, choking, and food consistency – all of which are very important for baby led weaning. However, I do not discuss HOW to prepare specific foods. But there are many books and free online resources where you can find this information!

Because I think every parent deserves to have evidence-based, helpful, and FREE information to support them in feeding their kids. This course is a comprehensive introduction to solid food course — and I promise I won’t try to upsell you on anything or hide my best information behind a paywall.
